Introduction

Thank you for choosing Muratec MFX-2500.

The Muratec MFX-2500 is a multi-function machine, combining facsimile and copier features.

The operating instructions for this machine is divided into three books. Please read the instructions you need.

•“General Reference” (This book) — Describes the basic operations and basic caring of your machine. Covers what you have to know to use your machine immediately.

•“Fax Reference” — Describes the various faxing features.

•“Copy Reference” — Describes the various copying features.

Pick an installation spot

Where should you install your fax machine? The location should be:

• Clean — Dust buildup can damage your machine. (However, do not use a cover!)

• In the open — Allow at least 30 cm of clearance around your machine. Be sure

that you never cover the machine. Its vents must be able to “breathe.”

• Away from direct sunlight — This helps avoid overheating.

• Dry — Avoid any location where splatters or sprays (such as from a water foun-

tain) could reach your fax machine.

• Level, and vibration-free.

• Near a phone jack — Your fax machine uses a standard (modular) telephone

Find your serial number and write it down

Please note that your machine’s serial number is located on the bar code label as shown on the drawing at right. Use the blank at the bottom of this column to copy this down before you set up your machine.

Note: The IC label and ID label do not contain serial number information.

Close up, the bar code label looks something like this, but with a different set of numbers:

Bar code label for scanner

Bar code label for printer

jack, also known as an LJU.

• Near an AC power outlet — The AC power cord is about 1.5 meters long when

stretched to its limit, and the power cord should never be stretched to its limit.

Power tips

• Use a standard three-pronged 230 VAC outlet.

• Make sure the outlet isn’t controlled by a wall switch.

If it is, you’ll risk occasional shutoffs to the machine, causing you to lose fax messages.

• Don’t use an outlet which also is supplying power to a

large appliance, such as a refrigerator or air conditioner.

Such high-consumption appliances can cause “draw-downs”

(temporary drops in the power available for other equipment on

the circuit) which could damage your fax machine.

Please copy down your machine’s serial number below for future reference, and note the machine’s model number:

My machine’s serial number (printer): ________________________________

• Use an electrical surge suppressor, preferably one which guards both tele-

phone and electrical lines. This device helps to shield your fax machine from

damaging high-voltage electrical surges.

Voltage requirements:		230 VAC ± 10%, 50–60% Hz.
